Great trip! - We had a great time, everything went off as planned, and the weather cooperated for a good view of the bioluminescence. Even though there was a half moon, we had a full experience. The tacos were good for dinner. There were 11 on the van, and there were no problems. Steven was a good and informative guide. If you cannot swim and/or tread water, this is not the trip for you. You have to be able to get in and out of a boat, so if you have serious mobility issues this is also not the trip for you.

Must do activity in Puerto Rico - Both our guide and boat captain were incredible. We were able to experience the mountains and inland areas of the island. The boat trip was great, and the bio bay swimming was a once in a lifetime experience.

Amazing sight!!!! - This is a trip every person should see. Our tour guide Stephen was amazing, along with everyone we encountered. I cannot say enough positive things about this trip. The bay itself shows you how amazing nature is. If you come to PR, take this tour. It will be the best money you will ever spend. We will definitely be doing this tour again.

Family Time - The experience was more than I expected. Our tour quiet/host, Stephen, was very informative and helpful. On our drive he pointed out where we were and different points of interest. He was more than attentive. Our boat captains were delightful, concerned for our safety, and very informative. Absolutely recommend .

Loved swimming in bioluminescent algae ! - It was great experience. All other bio bay tours were sold out and we got this tour last minute. Hot springs were ok. Bio bay Algae tour was spectacular. Swimming in bioluminescent algae was experience of lifetime. Driver and guides were good people.
